Frequently Asked Questions

The minimum investment depends on the location and asset type selected. Greece currently operates multiple thresholds, including €250,000, €400,000, and €800,000 categories depending on region and qualifying property structure. Certain conversion or restoration assets may still qualify from €250,000, while premium locations such as parts of Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, and Santorini may require higher thresholds. Asset selection must be reviewed carefully before purchase.

No full-time relocation is generally required to maintain the Greece Golden Visa. This is one of the programme’s strongest advantages for globally mobile investors. However, if your future objective is Greek citizenship, actual physical residence, tax presence, and integration become far more relevant than simply holding the permit.

Greece is known for strong family inclusion rules. Applicants may typically include a spouse, children under the applicable age threshold, and in many cases parents of both the main applicant and spouse, subject to documentation and current law at the time of filing. This makes Greece highly attractive for multi-generational planning.

Yes, many investors choose Greece because qualifying property can also function as an income-producing asset. Depending on the property type, location, and regulation in force, owners may generate long-term rental income and in some cases short-term tourism income. Rules can change, so the rental model should be checked before acquisition.

Processing times vary based on property selection, document readiness, biometric scheduling, and government workload. Well-prepared files usually move significantly faster than incomplete applications. Investors should treat the process as several stages: tax number setup, banking, purchase completion, application filing, biometrics, and final issuance.

Potentially yes. Greece Golden Visa residency can become part of a longer path toward Greek citizenship, but citizenship is not automatic. Applicants generally need genuine residence history in Greece, language proficiency, and compliance with naturalisation rules in force at the time of application. It should be viewed as a long-term strategic option, not an instant passport route.
